ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the current situation of the demand for humanistic care of schizophrenics in convalescence and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for clinical nurses to carry out targeted humanistic care for patients.Methods:A self-produced scale with a total score of 49-245 was used to investigate 516 convalescent period schizophrenic patients in 18 tertiary mental health institutions in 13 provinces of China, single factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on their influencing factors.Results:The Likert 5-point scoring method was used. The overall score of the nursing care needs of hospitalized schizophrenic patients was (202.85±35.06) points, and the average score of total items were (4.14±0.16) points. Multiple linear regression results showed female ( B=0.100, P=0.024), stable marriage ( B=-0.098, P=0.026),high school (including secondary school) Education ( B=-0.107, P=0.018), family per capita monthly income of 2 000 yuan or above ( B=0.093, P=0.043),central region ( B=-0.110, P=0.014) were the main factors that affect the demand for humanistic care of inpatients with schizophrenia in convalescence. Conclusion:The hospitalized schizophrenic patients have higher and diversified needs for humanistic care. Patients with different genders, marital status, education level, monthly family income and living area have different needs for humanistic care. Individualized and standardized nursing should be given according to the actual situation of patients' needs to provide a more supportive environment for their rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between serum HCY (Homocysteine) and carotid artery stenosis,plaque stability in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Methods 154 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease in Tangdu Hospital were enrolled in the study from June to December 2016.The serum levels of HCY were detected.CT angiography (CTA) was uesd for patients with neck vascular scanning.According to the difference of serum HCY level,patients were divided into 80 cases of high HCY group (observation group) and 74 cases of normal HCY group (control group).The degree of carotid artery stenosis,number and stability of plaque were compared between the two groups and the correlation between serum HCY level and degree of carotid artery stenosis and plaque stability were analyzed.Results The total stenosis rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,the moderate stenosis rate and severe stenosis rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with the statistically significant differences (x2 =5.594～ 22.506,all P＜0.05).The levels of serum HCY in mild,moderate and severe stenosis group were 13.16 ± 6.73,15.19± 5.93 and 26.13 ±11.18 μmol/L respectively.The levels of H CY in moderate stenosis group and severe stenosis group were significantly higher than that in mild stenosis group,and the levels of HCY in severe stenosis group was significantly higher than that in moderate stenosis group,with the statistically significant differences (t=2.684～ 5.270,all P＜0.01).The rate of carotid plaque in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the differences statistically significant (x2 =25.053,P＜0.01).The rate of unstable plaque and mixed plaque in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the rate of stable plaque was significantly lower than that in the control group (x2 =4.067～ 14.95,all P＜0.05).The levels of serum HCY in stable plaque group,mixed plaque group and unstable plaque group were 16.14±5.49,21.91 ± 6.32 and 26.74 ± 10.59 μmol/L respectively.The levels of HCY in mixed plaque group and unstable plaque group were significantly higher than that in stable plaque group,and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.370,4.628,all P＜0.01).The level of HCY in unstable plaque group was significantly higher than that in mixed plaque group,and the difference was statistically significant (t =2.249,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Serum HCY levels were closely related to carotid artery stenosis and plaque stability.Hyperhomocysteinemia can increase the incidence and degree of carotid artery stenosis as well as the number of carotid plaques and unstable plaques.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of the combined detection of manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD)genetic polymorphism and lipoprotein phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)in the early diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods 92 cases of coronary heart disease patients and 78 cases of healthy control group were selected.The activ-ity of Lp-PLA2,the activity of Mn-SOD and genotype of Mn-SOD 9 Ala/Val genetic polymorphism were detected in the ser-um of each group via the use of colorimetry,continuous monitoring technique and gene-sequencing method respectively and then the correlation of serum Mn-SOD,Lp-PLA2 and Mn-SOD genetic polymorphism with CHD were analyzed.Results The Lp-PLA2 activity in serum of CHD groups with Mn-SOD 9 VV genotype was statistically significantly higher than that of patients with the AV+AA genotype (P<0.01).The serum Mn-SOD activity in patients with VV genotype was signifi-cantly lower than that of those with AV+AA genotype (P<0.01).Conclusion Combined detection of Mn-SOD 9 Ala/Val genetic polymorphism and Lp-PLA2 activityin the serum can provide an important foundation for the diagnosis and predic-tion of coronary heart disease.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD)9 Ala/Val genetic polymorphisms and the levels of blood lipid and homocysteine (HCY).Methods The genotypes of Mn-SOD 9 Ala/Val ge-netic polymorphisms were identified by sequencing method,the serum activities of T-SOD and Mn-SOD were detected by colorimetric method,the serum level of HCY was detected by enzymatic method,and the serum levels of cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)were de-tected by end-point method in 137 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD)and 85 controls.Results Compared with the control group,the VV genotype and V allele of Mn-SOD 9 Ala/Val genetic polymorphisms in the CHD group were higher, while the serum activities of T-SOD and Mn-SOD in the CHD group was significantly lower.The serum activities of T-SOD and Mn-SOD of the Mn-SOD 9 VV genotype was significantly lower than the Mn-SOD 9 AA genotype.Compared with the Mn-SOD 9 AA genotype,the serum levels of TC,TG,LDL-C and HCY of the Mn-SOD 9 VV genotype were significantly higher,while the serum level of HDL-C was significantly lower.The serum activity of Mn-SOD was negativelycorrelated with the serum levels of TC,TG,LDL-C and HCY and positively correlated with the serum level of HDL-C.Conclusion The antioxidative ability in patients with CHD was decreased.Mn-SOD 9 Ala/Val genetic polymorphisms led to lipid metab-olism disorders by affecting the Mn-SOD activity,promoting the development of CHD.HCY resulted in increased oxidative substances by self-oxidation and inhibition of the Mn-SOD activity,increasing the risk of CHD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum homocysteine (HCY)levels and oxidative stress in pa-tients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods According to the diagnostic criteria of CHD in 2010 (WS 319-2010)is-sued by the Ministry of Health,79 patients with CHD in Xi’an Central Hospital from June 2014 to December 2014 were se-lected as the experimental group,and 5 5 cases of healthy physical examination for the same period were selected as the nor-mal control group.The levels of oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA)and the activity of antioxidant enzyme su-peroxide dismutase (SOD)in serum were detected to analyze the state of oxidative stress.The levels of serum HCY were de-tected,and the correlation between HCY levels and MDA levels and SOD activity was analyzed.Results The levels of MDA in the CHD group were significantly higher than that in the control group,while SOD activity was significantly lower than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=3.112,2.684,all P<0.05).The levels of HCY in the CHD group were significantly higher than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t=3.268,P<0.05).In the CHD group,the levels of HCY were positively correlated with the levels of MDA (r=0.236,P<0.05),and negatively correlated with SOD activity (r=-0.221,P<0.05).Conclusion Serum HCY levels were increased and oxidative stress reaction was enhanced in patients with CHD.Oxidative stress was associated with elevated serum HCY levels.Serum HCY levels and oxidative stress played an important role in the occurrence and development of CHD.
